About our regrouting in Barr
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you’re dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help.
For a place like Barr, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
What regrouting looks like in Barr
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church And Churchyard, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common problems we fix in Barr
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
In and around Barr, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about regrouting in Barr
Do you cover Barr for regrouting?
Yes, Barr is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Barr?
All our work, in Barr and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlord and commercial work in Barr
Landlords and agents in Barr can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outside jobs in Barr need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
